“Most of the businesses we checked did the right thing and didn’t sell alcohol to someone under the age of 21,” said Bossier Sheriff Julian Whittington. “Our goal is 100% compliance, and we will continue to check stores, restaurants, and clerks to ensure they not only know the law, but abide by the law.”
The Bossier Sheriff-Police Narcotics Task Force comprises deputies with the Bossier Sheriff’s Office and officers with the Bossier City Police Department and was formed in 2012.
